CFA Guidance

aranders75 · Nov 21, 2023

My DD took her CFA with her USMA FFR in September and these were her scores:
Pushups: 20
FAH: 9.6 (there was no platform)
BB throw: 30ft
Crunches: 57
1 mi run: 8:37
Shuttle run: 10.7

She then took it again in October at USNA during the Inspire weekend:
Pushups: 15
FAH: 20.0
BB throw: 31 ft
Crunches: 53
1 mi run: 8:04
Shuttle run: 10.6

Interestingly, USNA said her USMA scores were passing but she chose to take it again hoping she’d get some better results. She had USNA send over her scores to USAFA but she got an email saying that one or more of her events could put her at risk and if she wanted those to be entered. Should she have used her USMA scores instead? She’s worried if she submits one of these she will fail and won’t be able to retake. And her candidate kit was due 11/15, which she has everything in but CFA and ALO interview. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Look at the USAFA CFA averages on the USAFA website. I have attached the PDF. Her numbers are well below the averages. The only way to know is to submit. USAFA does have an option to ask for a retest, not guaranteed, but not unheard of. Not sure it will matter which test she submits.
